(blah) I'd love to see a receipt for a 1.6L header you sold and a comparison of part #'s with the 1.8L header.....

blah blah? the box and invoice were labelled 2016, not 2020. I opened the box prior to shipment and the header was indeed different than the 2020. not to toot my own trumpet here but I've been on these forums long enough and contributed enough for most people to know I wouldn't bulls*** them - especially about something that really doesn't affect me.TampaSport20 said:
there is no specific 1.8 liter header - the 2.0 header fits that engine as they are physically identical in those regards.

Well I've been a member of this community since the days of protegetech, and I've been on ALL the boards since they started...I have NEVER seen a member with a header for a 1.6L ZM-DE, and every contact I had with obx was that the header was in development,never that it was done....If one can be produced I would be happy to anty up the money and buy one, but I'm not putting it up and then told "it's on back order" or some other bs.....not doubting your honesty here man, but I have yet to see one.

I don't know if anyone seen this, but this guys claim to have them in stainless steel for $175 and ceramic for $150. I am trying to save-up some money for these.

buy it then, and let me know if it's the right part !! (cool) I'm tired of getting jerked around by companies who claim to have it in stock,but can never produce one
im thinking about getting this header, but i dont know if its worth the money. to all owners and ex owners of the obx header, do/did you llike your header? is there a noticable difference in power or its the same feeling as adding an intake and exhaust? also, is the gains worth the $200 for the header? i have a mazdaspeed axel back and (soon to be installed)k and n typhoon intake. do you all think i should go for it or leave my car the way it is? thanks for all the info guys and gals
I dont personally have one (waiting for this damned 1.6 to become available) but owners opinions indicate its probably the best bang for buck hp mod out there. The stock exhaust manifold is quite restrictive. I'd take a stab & say you'd probably get as much hp increase as from the intake & axelback combined.
hmmm well i have been forced into a problem here... so i'll let you know about it - my header cracked across the 1st flange, nearly lost the whole exhaust!!! good way to leave a cruise early for a beer at home (naughty)
this crack has now opened up to height of 9mm, and has approximatley 20mm of metal holoding it in place - all i can say is hello diesel!!!!
and after todays efforts, i have nothing in place, so now jsut awaiting my wildcat headers to arrive from johannesburg

dunno - i gave up and got an exhaust made up
cost me au$305 to have it made custom... and its bloody awesome... 4-1 header design, and for a 1.6 l is prolly best to maximise the power
had a look into this one - mate of mine has a pulsar (variation to the nissan sentra) with a CA-16 so power is realatively equal...
if an body wants the measurements i can get these for you

I had word from a supplier they would be available in a few weeks.
This was a week ago.
Bare in mind I mentioned they have been on backorder for a few months...his words - "call me to order" suggest there wont be any problem, but who knows...
I'll touch base again in another week or two
